10 Jan 45

My Darling Peggy:

It’s a beautiful day in England -
for a change – it has stopped snowing
and the sun is out doing it’s job --
makes life look rosier for a change – I
feel so darn lonely – wish I could snap
our of it! I Love You so dard much
Honey!!

Hope everything is going O.K.
for you – I’m sort of getting on edge
myself – you’d swear I was the one
that was going to have the baby! Hope
I can get home before or right after it’s
born! It’s really something to Pray
for – I always hoped to be back by
March – one never knows – I may!
Don’t build the castle to high – but I’m
  1945-01-10_Page_2 suppose to go home – however there’s so
many things that can upset it that I’ve
been holding my breath for the last
week!  Better not mention this to anyone
cause it’ll be like on of those expected
furloughs for sure! I Love you Honey!!

As usual there’s nothing doing
around here – excepting the process
of getting well – haven’t had any more
mail – sure would like to get a
sack full today – am hoping my Xmas
packages catch up to me here one of
these days – probably they’ll get here
in time for next Xmas!  I Love You
Darling!

Am feeling pretty good – and get
around quite well – just finished taking
a good bath – clean clothes – feel like

a million bucks!! I Love You!

I suppose by this time you’ve
heard from Ruth – It’s really to bad-
I’ve had that on my mind ever since
it happened – and if I don’t start forgetting
I’ll be going nuts--

Well Darling will close – Just
can’t seem to settle down & write a
decent letter lately – but then who wouldn’t
be sweating?  God Bless You Darling!
I Love You with all My Hear!

Love & Kisses
Johnnie
